Marijuana DUI Victim

Update: All charges related to marijuana and the DUI against Scott have been dropped by the courts although Scott did pay a fine for making an illegal right turn. Medical Marijuana activist Scott Bledsoe Filed a lawsuit against San Bernardino County to force them to implement the MMJ ID card program. The next day when he was going home he was followed by San Bernardino city police and arrested for DUI. This video tells the story at a meeting of the High Desert MAPP in Landers California.

yo man honestly.. this happened to me two fridays ago. i smoked at 12pm, got pulled over at 11! for speeding..11 hours later.. apparently failed sobriety tests i took the same ones you had to, fuckin bullshit, i blew 00.00 into the breathalyzer..

"the officer assumed that just because i had smoked marijuana earlier in the day, that i was still under the influence hours later" ...UM SAME FUCKING THING HAPPENED TO ME ! i dont know a soul that gets high and stays high for eleven hours..

@L3athaface This demonstrates why you should never, ever talk to the police. Never tell them anything except your name and address. If you fight this in court it will be tossed if your lawyer is good because there are no guidelines to determine if you were or are impaired no matter what your blood level is.

Update on the disposition of Scott's case. He pled guilty to a traffic infraction of making an illegal right turn and payed his fine. All other charges related to the marijuana and the DUI were dismissed by the judge citing that there was no evidence that he was impaired and there is no standard to indicate when someone might be impaired. A blood or urine test will tell if someone has the drug in his system but not if they are impaired, which is not the case with alcohol.

@aolthof007 Im going through the same thing right now. I was hoping i could get some more information on how to go about fighting the court system. should i get a good lawyer? my family has been telling me to just use a public defender because the judge is supposedly lenient on marijuana and i don't have much money, but I don't want a DUI on my record and my charges are bs. i was hoping to find out what my chances are of winning and how much it's going to cost me. i only have about 700 bucks

so you don't think you made those traffic violations because you were on weed ?? you could have killed somebody. you can smoke all you want, but stay at home and don't involve others in your mistakes.

@jenn1ifer I also see you are anti-Medical Marijuana, please explain why you so dearly care about other people's lives and what they do with them, and why you are against people feeling better.

@jenn1ifer There is no public transportation here except taxi which is far too expensive and metra which takes me no where near the community college. Yes I can get financial aid, but that does not make college free. My point is, my option's have been leveled down to community college, because of a bullshit law made by corrupt Illinois Politicians. And I use corrupt, because it can't be any closer to the truth, Ryan is in prison (governor), Blajoevich going to prison. Multiple Senators unethical
